I’m working on a new idea that needed an actual beating heart. I’ve had to learn a lot about animatronics. Needs a silicone skin and then the rest of the installation. #art

“Le Pont de l'Espoir" (The Bridge of Hope), after Caillebotte (2nd image). A painting responding to the ongoing debate about how to interpret Calllebotte's Le Pont de l'Europe. My version imagines how it might have looked in a world without gay shame. #caillebotte

New painting - “Sancta Regina”, oil on canvas, 60”x48”. This is a portrait of @rhiansongs.bsky.social — a singer who grew up in the church as the son of a pastor — reimagined with the grandeur of religious ceremony through a queer lens.

Tiny self-portrait painted in acrylics of me visiting the last day of the Caravaggio exhibition with his Narcissus painting in the background. I was wearing TM Davy’s trans fundraiser t-shirt. About 7x9cm.
